Summary

Lanie Jacobs faces a major crisis when her cocaine stash and money are stolen. She knows the robber’s identity and suspects Roy Radin is involved. Meanwhile Radin isn’t going to let Lanie’s problems get in the way of The Cotton Club. He keeps working with producer Robert Evans to secure financing for the film, but he clashes with Lanie over her expected role. Then, as the investigation into Radin's murder stalls, a new team of detectives takes over the cold case. Evidence emerges that points to Lanie's connection to the killing – but so far no one is talking.
